i have the family's permission to release a picture and the name
of the precious young man who has been missing for over a
week now.

| barrett jones |
i could always count on barrett to speak to me very respectfully
and look straight into my eyes. he traveled with my son on
mission trips and played basketball with him for four years. the
faculty from his high school selected barrett to be their favorite
student of the year.
this is a special young man, and his lovely parents' hearts are
breaking.
yesterday, a missing baylor student called his family from a
church in arizona. my prayer is that today, barrett will call
his family, too.
"to this i will appeal:
the years of the right hand of the Most High.
i will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, i will remember Your miracles of long ago.
i will meditate on all Your works and consider
all Your mighty deeds." psalm 77: 11, 12
your prayers and your generous kindness are such a gift,
lea

I will continue to pray for him. He looks like such a nice boy and one any mother would be proud to have.
I am so sorry for his poor family.
I will continue to pray.
Praying for Barrett! Thanks for putting a precious face and name to the request. Carla
This is such a sad story but one that I pray has a happy ending very soon.
I will keep Barrett (& his family) in my prayers for his safe keeping and that the Holy Spirit will minister to his heart during this time.
God bless you Lea for getting the word out for all of your readers to pray. God will honor all of the prayers.
Have a beautiful day!
Love,
Gloria xoxo
Thank you for the photo... he is in my prayers.
Thank you...I was wanting to ask his name...still praying, still seeking God's grace and mercy in this situation. My heart is heavy and breaks for everyone...I know how I would feel if it was mine or even one of the many boys who have come through our home.
Praying constantly!!
Oh, how very sad! Will certainly be praying for all concerned and mostly that he will be found "safe and sound."
Christmas Blessings!
Still praying here and believing
God for Barrett's safe return and comfort for this dear family.
Love,
Sandy
Lord, please return Barrett to his family safe and sound. We will keep him and his family in our prayers. Barrette olease contact your family...Lord let him see that nothing is ever bad enough (you know how teenagers think) that he wouldn't be off etter at home.
Amen. God watches over His word to perform it.
He seems such a sweet young man.
If you're reading this, Barrett, there are so many of us here (strangers) appealing to you to at least call your parents. Their hearts must be breaking.
Of course, we can't know all that's happening in your life, but you're wise enough to do the right thing. I'm sure of this.
Lea, I shall be away for the hols. Going to spend Christmas with my in-laws. See you in the new year and be blessed.
One of the things about being a parent is that every child becomes your child, your heart rejoices and grieves with every parent.
Praying and trusting God for the very best outcome for Barrett and his precious hurting parents.
Thank you so much Lea, for letting us share his name and face. It makes our prayers firmer and more personal. Trusting with you all!!
I have him on my prayer cards, along with his family and will continue to pray for all of them.
Send hugs to his family from all of us...
Love,
Leslie
thanks, sweet friends! you're so
great!
Praying for safety!
I will definitely continue to pray for Barrett and his family. He looks and sounds like such a nice boy. How my heart breaks for his poor parents. Blessings, Debbie
I will pray...
wish he were back! I will keep praying.
Praying, Lea, with tears ... pleading with the Lord. Asking him to make haste ... David asked the Lord to make haste several times, so I think it is okay.
"Lord, please hurry him home!We are anxious to celebrate Barret's return."
Love you,
Cheri
Still praying and following the reports. I have a friend whose son-in-law is missing...it looks like foul play...he has a pregnant wife. Young couple in Tampa Florida.
Praying for all these families and to see the mighty power of our loving God!! I am not forgetting!!!
My heart is aching for Barrett's family and for friends like you who obviously love him so much! He looks about the same age as my oldest son- I cannot imagine the torture that his family is going through.
I will be praying for all of them and that Barrett will return home safely Very soon!
Many, many prayers,
Joyce
Praying for this young man and his family that they will be reunited before Christmas. Can't imagine their pain. Thankful for your blog to solicit prayers for them!
I continue to pray that God keep them all in His eyes and hands.
I can't imagine the anguish his folks and loved ones are feeling.
Saying a prayer for Barrett to return home safely and for healing to take place in all hearts. I'm also praying that his parents and family and friends will experience the comfort of the Holy Spirit in a supernatural way. Thank you for keeping us updated.
My heart aches for Barrett's parents. They must be crazy with worry. My prayers will be offered for young Barrett and his family. Please, keep us posted.
I will pray for Barrett and his family, and hope he will soon return home safely.
Oh my prayers are with Barrett and his family.
Dear Lea,
I offer prayers for Barett's return. May God keep him safe in the hollow of His hands.
Also I scrolled down and read some of your recent posts... the one about the boys singing in the school choir touched me heart so deeply.
Blessings be yours this Christmas week.
Love
Lidj
I have been through this experience, not with a child but my father and brother. There are no words that can ever express the love and empathy that we all have for the family of this sweet boy. Our collective energy and devotion to our kindred spirits will flow your way and connect us all as one. My blessing and prayers to your family.
Hoping that all is well. Thinking of you! Blessings, Cheri
